Our schedule next week is pretty wicked, with classes on food, science, and even every New Yorker's obsession (real estate), so I thought it was worth a post all to its own.
Monday, April 4: First Time Home Buying (just a couple spots left!). If you're trying to sell an apartment, come over on April 11 for the companion class, also with Realty Collective: Selling Your Home in the Worst of Times.
Tuesday...

Join us on April 18 at 7pm for a discussion about national food policy in this country and ways that you can advocate for inclusion of ethical and sustainable principals into the Farm Bill.

We have this lovely, sunny space in Carroll Gardens that's mostly empty during the day, and we want to put it to better use. Specifically, we want to open it for you all to work on projects of all sorts—whether it’s something on your computer or something hands on that requires a bit more space than your apartment provides.
We’re thinking it’ll be social and laid back, with lunches and snacks and all of that...

In late April, we're playing host to an awesome interactive installation which will include a bunch of short lectures (1-3 minutes), and we want you to give them!

Last night a dozen of us learned just what felting is and gained a new appreciation for anyone who made cloth before the cotton gin. (For real. Before the cotton gin, one person could clean one pound of cotton in a day. Compare that to the cotton gin, which could clean as much in one day as a person could in a whole year.)
But yeah, felting is really neat. Wikipedia defines felt as "a non-woven cloth that is produ...
By popular demand, we're hosting an ice cream making class next Sunday, February 13 at noon. We'll cover all the million different types of frozen desserts out there and how to get the flavors you want into them.
After class, you can stick around for an Ice Cream Club meeting, where people who make ice cream (and you) hang out and eat each others' concoctions--some awesomely weird, some entirely delicious.
There's...
